Most commentators supported the thesis of the target article, though there were also those who were less fully persuaded. I will begin with a response to the most critical commentaries. First, I will justify an evolutionary perspective that includes group organization and nongenetic inheritance. Next, I will discuss the concept of emergence. Following that, I will transition to an exploration of ideas and concerns brought up by some of the more supportive commentators. This will include a discussion of different types of groups; the psychology of group-level traits; the uses and limitations of an institutional perspective; the link between transmission, adaptation, and selection; current and future methodologies; and the variety of fields that may benefit from a group-level traits perspective.
大多数评论者支持目标文章的论点，但也有一些人不太信服。我将首先对最具批判性的评论作出回应。首先，我将为包括群体组织和非遗传继承在内的进化视角辩护。接下来，我将讨论涌现的概念。之后，我将转向探讨一些更支持评论者提出的观点和关注点。这将包括讨论不同类型的群体；群体特征的心理学；制度视角的用途和局限性；传播、适应和选择之间的联系；当前和未来的方法；以及可能受益于群体特征视角的各种领域。
